I’m Catherine Simpson, a novelist, journalist, poet and short story writer based near Edinburgh.

My debut novel ‘Truestory’ was published by Sandstone Press in 2015.

In 2013 I received a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award for the opening chapters of Truestory. My work has been published in various anthologies and magazines, published on-line and broadcast on BBC Radio.

I love meeting readers and writers and I am available for author events, festivals, book groups, writing workshops and residencies. Please get in touch if you would like me to attend an event.

I am on the list of approved authors on the Scottish Book Trust Live Lit Programme.
